Commander: Iranian Armed Forces to Give Crushing Response to Aggressors

A senior Iranian military commander underlined that the Iranian Armed Forces are completely prepared to give a crushing response to any possible aggression against their country.

Commander of the Iranian Army’s Ground Forces Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan said on Wednesday that despite US President Barack Obama’s efforts to distance himself from the excessive warmongering rhetoric against Iran, Tehran remains fully alert over any US aggression.

“The military always takes threats very seriously and remains completely prepared for any combat operations even if Obama announces that the US has no military option on the table against Iran,” he said.

Iran has repeatedly warned that its Armed Forces are fully prepared to immediately deliver a crushing response to any offensive on the Iranian territory.

On November 10, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei warned enemies about Iran’s tough response to any aggression or even threat, stressing that the country would respond with full force to any attack.

“Iran is not a nation to sit still and just observe threats from fragile materialist powers which are being eaten by worms from inside,” Ayatollah Khamenei told students at a Tehran military college.

“Anyone who harbors any thought of invading the Islamic Republic of Iran – or even if the thought crosses their mind – should be prepared to receive strong blows and the steel fists of the military, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), and the Basij (volunteer) force, backed by the entire Iranian nation,” he said.

“Iran will respond with full force to any aggression or even threats in a way that will demolish the aggressors from within,” he added
